As we round the corner on this week the finish line is starting to come into sight! Ending the week on Day 68 from seed and these girls are really starting to shine! Front left is just a crystal packed beast with golf ball sized buds (or bigger) well spaced out along the stem, more like blueberry tends to grow. Front right is showing very similar traits, while back left and right are larger more connected buds, more like Slimer tends to grow. Cool to see the two different bud structures in the same grow, fun thing with autos you know they will be close but always some differences! Buds are just plumping and firming, getting ready for their big day on another few weeks. Water intake has slowed as expected for this stage in life, 32L every four days instead of every three. Was an easy week work wise, just a light defoliation of mainly the back two plants, probably 20 or so leaves each. Back two are still seeming to be maybe a week behind front two, but they seem to be catching up fast. May have to get the second reservoir set up at the end of need to ween first two off the feed earlier than last two. Good thing is I have three full sets of AutoPots so not a problem, although I may have a problem with collecting grow gear hahaha. Can't help myself, I see stuff selling for super cheap used or clearance from stores closing and think "sure I could use another set of those". Got my last set of 15L pots in upgrade packs on clearance. Each pack came with the pot, the tray, and the 5.0 valve with all the fixings for just !!! Honestly how do you say no to that I don't know. Lights 90% @ 16" @ 750-800umol/s Water 32L every four days UV lights one hour per day mid cycle 6" Exhaust 30% 4" Intake 50% 6" oscillating fan x2 50%

6/30 I messed up and put 8 days last week so I'll have tp do a six day week to get back on schedule. Pounded rain last night I guess. Very intense but very brief. As you can see in the video the plants are found great. A few have revegged so I'll need to defoliate the middle. I could make a TON of clones but it's pretty late for that. I might clone a couple outstanding plants to keep the genetics. Still seeing some pillar damage. Might do bt tonight. I'll keep this updated. 7/1 Super hot yesterday. Reached 90°. We are getting SOME rain today and thunder showers day after tomorrow. Bags still had some heft and everything looked good. I went back aroundcand found about half were at the point of needing water. He'll, they probably all did. My watering can is 2 gallons not 1.5 as advertised. So that means I used 5 gallons on the garden (not watering the 50) focusing the more water on the lightest bags. That tenth planet I'm seeing more septoria like leaves. This makes enough for me to be fairly positive ill need to treat it. I have plant doctor but I think copper works better. I also see more pillar damage so I've gotta apply something. I also need to lst more and I keep to clean put the interior of the plants so they don't get pm. EDIT: IT WAS 80° and no rain at 6:30. Humidity close to 100% bit plants look AMAZING! I'm hoping this may be my best year yet! I won't grow a bigger plant than tjat blue cheese in the 50 but so far everything is looking good. I may add some nutes to the pink kush in the 50 due to tje slightly less green color. I assume it's just because the other soil is all New amd this was a mix. I defoliated lightly to prevent pm but I have more to do. I just wanted to get a video of the girls looking good. 7/2 82° at 9am. Glad I decided to water even thoughvi watered yesterday. I need to up my volume. Thirty degree temp swings don't help much either. I said I used 4 gals but I used 5. I had one phed already. I'm hoping this will be one of my best years. IT looks like it! I won't have that MONSTER blue cheese in the 50. It was the smallest plant anyway and shows the difference between using NEW soil and mixing old soil WITH new soil. It's a much lighter green. Still need to apply bt and do a little more defoliation. EDIT: IT'S 90° WITH LIKE 100% RH. PLANTS LOOK A LITTLE HEAT STRESSED BUT OTHERWISE PRETTY DAMN GOOD. EVEN MY FATHER MENTIONED (KNOCK ON WOOD) "THAT I DONT HAVE ANY SHOT ON THEM THIS YEAR." LOL. I UPLOADED A VIDEO TO SHARE. HOPE YOU GUYS ARE HAVING AS MUCH FUN AS I AM! 7/3 83° at 9:40a.m. I need to increase my watering volume so I don't need to water every day. I used 5 gallons to water everything but the 50. I think I'm underwatering. However it was supposed to be severe thunder storms with torrential rain, high winds and hail. I'll gratefully take this hot sunny day instead. However in the future I think I'm not goingvto add in the predicted rainfall in my schedule. Unless it's a torrential down pour obviously. Everything g is still looking good and I've still got some work to do.

🌸 Week 5 Flower – Gelonade Journey What a week! The Gelonade girls are now stepping fully into their flower form, and it’s breathtaking to witness. The evolution is clear: their structure is leaning beautifully toward the sativa side, with long, elegant branches reaching outward and bud formations stretching gracefully. Even though Gelonade carries a 60% sativa / 40% indica balance, the girls are clearly showcasing their sativa influence, airy yet strong, expressive, and absolutely stunning. ✨ Sativa Stretch & Structure The branching is art in motion, every node working like a painter’s brushstroke on a living canvas. The main colas are elongating, and even the funky pheno is showing its own charm in how the leaves and flowers express themselves. It’s one of those weeks where you just stand back and admire. ⚙️ Smart Growing with Sensors The WCS2 substrate sensor from TrolMaster has been invaluable this week. It constantly reads moisture, EC, and temperature directly from the soil, helping to decide exactly when to feed and when to hold back. Instead of guessing, we’re guided by real data, a powerful ally for keeping the roots in balance. 💧 Nutrient Recipe Update This week we reintroduced Aptus All-In-One Liquid at 1 ml per liter, complementing the standing mix of Aptus Regulator, CalMag Boost, and Plagron Power Buds, Sugar Royal, and Green Sensation. The reasoning is simple: as the flowers demand more, a little extra balanced nutrition ensures the canopy stays lush while the energy shifts toward bud production. 💡 Inner Canopy Lighting One of the biggest joys this run is the extra canopy lighting. The Future of Grow and ThinkGrow LEDs shine from above, but the added under-canopy strips are filling gaps and ensuring photons penetrate deeply. Instead of shadowy corners, the girls are glowing top to bottom, every leaf touched by light. 🌿 Recap & What’s Next From seed to now — germination, veg, stretch, and into this fifth week of flower — the Gelonades have shown resilience and individuality. Pheno #2, with her unicorn leaves, continues to amaze, while both are stacking into tall, elegant forms. For next week, we expect more density building, pistils shifting color, and the first whispers of resin glands sparkling under the LEDs. The journey forward promises more fragrance, more structure, and more beauty still to come. 💚 Closing Thought This week, the Gelonades remind us of the elegance of balance, between sativa and indica, between stretch and strength, between data and instinct. Every leaf, every branch, every bud is a note in a song that is only just beginning to play. May the branches stretch without fear, may the buds swell with light, and may each day bring us closer to the harvest of dreams. 📲 Don’t forget to Subscribe and follow me on Instagram and YouTube @DogDoctorOfficial for exclusive content, real-time updates, and behind-the-scenes magic.

For the Herbies contest - https://growdiaries.com/diaries/157348-grow-journal-by-dabbertglobberfield#gallery=6777378 - Grandmommy Purple is guilty multiple noise violations for being too loud and for stanky funk. Harvest - 169 days / 66 days in flower Well, we did it. I made it to the end. All I can think is...WOW that was A LOT of work. But I think I had very good results for a first time grower. I For harvest, we took Plant B and D and prepared them for immediate freezing. Altogether, I ended up with 1212g wet on plant B and 1089g wet on plant D. I ended up freezing 1816g of this. There was some from each of these plants that was set aside from freezing because, for whatever reason, I thought they were not worthy of washing because of how progressed the leaf damage was from the root rot battle. So that was cut up and dried as nuggets instead of hanging like the rest. Sawtooth and Plant C were both harvested and hung in the tent to dry for 12-13 days. I think I overdried by 1-2 days because when I jarred them they struggled to raise up to 55%. So I am using rh% packs. After drying Sawtooth and plant C, I ended up at 459.8g for dried flower and 170.8g in dried trim. So just over 1lbs between the 2 plants and 4.15lbs wet between the other 2 plants that was washed for hash. So... are you for real with the effort involved with washing bud for bubble hash? I don't think I would do this in the warmth. I only pursued doing bubble hash cause it's cold right now and I figured that would really help. Even in the 30s(fahrenheit) stuff would stick. It's hilarious how sticky of a process this is. I hope you have a bunch of gloves, water, and ice to burn through. I went through over 60 gallons of distilled water and 80lbs of ice to wash the 4 lbs. I am envious of people in videos using a hose to collect, clean, and refill. Also, doing this as a 1 person show is the definition of insanity. I broke the washings up into 3 parts. The first part was was the tester wash. I broke off 420g of plant D's 848gs available. I used 7 bags to see where I would end up. I used 220, 160, 120, 90, 73, 45, 25. What I determined was that if I was hunting a specific micron with a lot of material this would help find what you can get. But for the next washing I reduced the amount of bags to 4; 220, 160, 45, 25. The time, with the 4 bags, I washed with 809g. I had a much more favorable experience and return this second time but I had green fast and probably used too much ice. The 3rd wash was the remaining 631g and I found an extra 137g I added of sugar leaves and trim, brining the 3rd wash to 768g. I used 5 bags this time; 220, 160, 73, 45, 25. By the 3rd wash I have become an expert in collection but also never want to do it again. lol. 2 of the 3 washes have dried and I have 43.4g of bubble and 2.8g of dry sift. 37.4g of that bubble is able to be pressed into rosin. I will probably press that dry sift as well. The other stuff is 25u or 160u that I will experiment with or cook with. The other stuff is drying so I can't add it all in. I pressed a bunch of trim and some flower. The trim presses nice and the dab is decent. I am working out a good temp for the flower. But the problem with all these tests to find the sweet spot is that I have all these testers to go through but want to keep pressing and trying that! I think I will need to work on a better storage solution. I can't wait for the fresh frozen bubble hash rosin pressing... I have over 20gs of bubble to put in one bag. I am really looking forward to this. But I will need to work up to that pressing since I have never pressed hash/kief/bubble before in my rosin press. So this should be really fun. I will 100% post an update of the hash pressing once I do that and also after the 3rd wash session is done drying. In closing, saying I learned a lot from this grow would be an understatement. I fully expect to start it back up in a few weeks after some R&R then some R&D. There's some things I will need to work on before I start again, such as: having a single external reservoir that feeds multiple plants, hard to clog and easy to use ebb and flow system, miscellaneous final run stuff like space for drying. So thanks everyone for hanging out and perusing the photos and or reading all my huge rambling updates and thanks to those for the help along the way.
